T-Mobile launching BlackBerry Bold 9700 on November 16 for $199.99 {Engadget}
Nov 13th 2009 6:04PM I think this will probably be the phone to replace my iPhone. Now to decide if I should upgrade early and stay on ATT or switch to Tmobile in a few months?
BlackBerry Bold 9700 hands-on and impressions {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 12:53AM Why does every pic at BGR have the leather back? Are there multiple backplates perhaps? I like that retro look.
Apple's App Store breaks 100,000 apps {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 10:57AM The problem here is that even if the number of "useful" apps remains at 1-2%, 1-2% of 100,000 is somewhere between 1000 and 2000. That is more apps than you can even bother getting on the Pre, and more than enough apps to keep any one person buying happy.
Not every app will ever be for everybody, that's just a fact of life. It is nice to have the variety that the App store offers, regardless if 100,000 apps is a useful statistic.
Amazon begins offering same-day delivery in select cities {Download Squad}
Oct 15th 2009 4:01PM As someone who uses Prime, though not in any of the cities with the new same-day option, I have to say I like the deal. Sure, if I needed to buy diapers, it is probably not the best deal, though if I wanted something like a monitor or a TV or something that is a little more expensive, I don't think 6 extra dollars is bad at all. This is even more true when you consider that Amazon does not collect sales tax and that you are probably getting a better deal to start with. The more I think about it this is actually a great deal. Lets say you are traveling on business and you are in NY for two nights you realize as you sit in the airport before your flight you forgot a bunch of cables for your presentation. You go and order them and they are at your hotel by the time you get there for the show the next day. You didn't have to fuss about finding a store. You didn't have to buy overpriced Monster junk. You didn't even have to give up any part of your day.
Windows Phone commercial is confusing for a variety of reasons {Engadget}
Oct 12th 2009 12:28AM I am still waiting for them to bring back Seinfeld and Gates!!! FTW
Kindle DX called "poor excuse of an academic tool" in Princeton pilot program {Engadget}
Sep 28th 2009 2:35PM Yea, I think a Kindle can be a great tool if you enjoy reading novels. Is it worth it value-wise? I don't know, though I know my Grandma likes hers, for example, because she can blow up the type. How do you value something like that.
With that said, I don't think it is anywhere close to a replacement for a newspaper. And I don't think it is anywhere close to a replacement for a text book. Both need a larger format, both need color these days and both need the ability to quickly skim through and flip pages.
Push for Gmail: it's here, it works, and it's limited {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 22nd 2009 4:35PM It was only downloading half of my inbox, very strange. I went back to IMAP.
AT&T's 3G MicroCell gets unboxed, looks sufficiently cute {Engadget}
Sep 21st 2009 6:22PM Am I the only who does not understand why anyone cares really that this thing is 3G? If you are at home with your microcell and you don't have service, ok, nice now you have service to make calls, though presumably you already had some wifi since you are supplying the internet that the microcell has to hook up to... right? I assume that I could not even make a skype call on this or watch my slingbox, correct?
AT&T & MMS: So close, some of us can taste it {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 14th 2009 1:45AM I don't believe so. I just looked into this too for my 3G. I would rather wait another week and get the official version. Seeing as I have gone without needing to send MMS for years I don't think this extra week is going to kill me. :)
Motorola CLIQ listed for free on contract at T-Mobile, $400 straight-up {Engadget}
Sep 10th 2009 6:12PM Yea, except that it probably only will work on Tmobiles random 3G frequency.
